We share the optimism of White and Danis for health care information technology. During an era of technology innovation and adoption in all aspects of daily life, patients as well as medical professionals are, in general, becoming increasingly familiar with computer use during the clinical encounter. Current EHR systems, however, can be awkward to use, and there is a lack of standardized data structure for true integration of patient data across different EHR platforms.3 These issues are technical and will likely be overcome through innovations in EHR technology, allowing expanded EHR use to further enhance patient care.
